Peach Growers Meeting at Dover

The DetGCdredH IS authority for say
ing that the New York commission
merchants had obtained 5000 signatures
of dealers and jObbers in peaches to
set of resolution favoring the gift
basket" to be presented by a commit
tee of two to the Dover Convention.
The editor of our Dover paper is
sound to the core on the question of
return baskest. He tells the New York
ers that our people have sense enough
to manage their fruit business and
that they do not need any foreign self
appointed guardians. And he points
out the great opportunity afforded by
the Dover Convention for the growers
to cross swords with the receivers of
New York. This is the right, brave,
Just and manly statement of the posi-
ton of the peach mPn.-It is clearly
defined and unequivOcal. The issue
of the gift basket" is forced upon us
by the New York cOnspirators. They
have initiated the conflict without no
tice or warning and when requested
to desist by visit to their city, by per-
suasive arguments, appeals and en-
treaties, they cOntemptuously and with
deaf ears, refused to listen or to make
a truce to their warfare. Nothing is
left for the growers, but to fight. The
conflict has been going On-each party
in his own field The desperation of
the New Workers is exhibited in their
effort to call in to their aid, dealers of
the surrounding cities and towns as
far up as YOnkers; and to recruit moral
strength by force of numbers. Our un-
organized resistance has developed
their inherent weakness and proved
the necessity of their going outside of
New York city for assistance to bolster
up their scheme of usurpation and foul
conspiracy. But what do mere num-
bers avail in an unjust and weak cause
| 5000 then are no more than 500 or so
The strong man armed, can keep his
| palace against host of hirelings.
! The growers, conscious of the recti-
tude of their cause, clothed in the pan
Oply of right and justice, animated
with the spirit of resistance against the
insOlent and arbitrary attempt tC
wrest their property from them, with.
out representation or consent being
free thinking men and not slaves
not to be Overawed or troddcn down
| by the march OF numbers, hut will
boldly +" cross their swords" and fight
for victory. Come out then peach
growers of Delaware and Maryland
Come in your strength Come in {
mass to Dover. Stand unitedly togeth
er. Let no specious of deceptive prom
ises or pleas from foreign sources abatt
your force or break your ranks. Blu
with united voice and vote, in soluml
yet triumphant tone, record your yer
dict of unmitigated condemnation 0
the conspirators and for the return 0
: baskets.
Two chief points of business will en-
gage your attention:
1st. Resolution for return of basket
pure and simple.
2nd. A plan for the thorough distri
button Ofpeaches.
Stick to these first, last and all tn
time; and all will be well, AJAX.

The Moss Family.

The Moss Family which favors US
with its talent on Friday evening,
comes to us with the highest commen-
datiOns. They were in BridgetOn, N. j..
two or three weeks ago, and the daily
papers there speak of them in fiattering
terms. The Morning Star says:
The concert given by the Moss
Family was very novel and pleasing
one. The programme was well rem
dered, but the most delightful feature
of all was the pretty little Bertha the
remarkable music director, who beat
the bass drum and cymbals and plaved
on almost every other musical instru-
ment. She was really a prodigy"
The EUeRing NeUs in a half column
notice also says
That little one is a whole show in
herself, remarked a delighted citizen
as he left the Opera House at the close
of the performance last night.
They're all geniuses, there's nc
mistake about that, said another,
Nor was there any mistake about
1t. Last nights entertainment was diff
terent from any other seen here this
winter and it was evidently thoroughly
enjoyed. While all the family were
musical geniuses petite Bertha was
the little wonder of the lot and came
in for the greatest share of applause.
Miss Flora proved herself of high
rank as baritone sOlOist and in char.
acter sketches, and altogether it was
an evening of genuine pleasure in the
musical line. Should the Moss Family
ever return to Bridgeton they will bt
sure of warm welcOme.n

THE disreputable political methods
pursued by the factions in Wilmington
last year, though slowly, are resulting
in reaction that has its deepest hold
among the better class of the citizens,
which is likely to prove salutary. The
Ieaven of reform has worked quietly,
very quietly, but like good yeast it
seems to have permeated the whole
lump, and when it was thus ready it
was put in fit condition for keeping
by passing through the Legislative
oven. Nothing could have done this
with the machine" against them, but
the force of personal character behind,
manifesting itself aggressively. The
advocates of the measure could afford
to be earnest because they knew they
were right, and none knew it better
than their opponents who had sunk
the good name of the city for the spOils
of office. The measures thus effected
were, the street and sewer commits
sion bill" !" and the Registration act"
But the Citizens Association has not
stopped simply with having these laws
enacted, but they put the Association
into permanent organization at large
meeting last week to strengthen needed
reforms in general, and especially make
existing municipal laws susceptible of
thorough enforcement. The move
ment is a matter of. interest to the
whole State, in proportion to its iniu-
ence as our metropolis. 1t had greatly
degenerated as was apparent from its
own published records of disorders
and crimes. 1t had fallen greatly be-
hind, whereas it should have stood in
the lead, and the lovers of law and or
der will rejoice throughout the State
to see Wilmington a representative
city for proprieties and good govern
ment.

has had experience with those cheap
baskets and has seen the fruit drop
through the bottom before leaving the
orchard. This statement is based on
the experience of the writer for a num-
ber of years. The reader will observe
that the difference to the grower in
marketing two consecutive crops of
peaches would be in favor of the return
of his baskets just $3.50, beside the CON
